Photonic Therapy is an effective, safe, painless, scientifically advanced form of "acupuncture" utilizing red light, not laser, to gently stimulate acupuncture points.

This system uses a torch-like instrument which produces 185 mW of energy in the 660 nm wavelength.  When placed on the skin, this red light is transformed into electrical energy by the connective tissue under the skin.  This electrical energy is then transmitted to the brain by the nerves.  The brain sends signals to release particular hormones and neuro-chemicals depending on the combination of points stimulated by the light.  These hormones and neuro-chemicals relieve pain, increase immune response, and promote healing.

During a diagnostic examination, specific areas on the animal's body are physically stimulated by applying a quick flick to the skin by a blunt instrument, such as a round-ended pen.  A response suggests to the practitioner where there may be a health concern.  Additional areas are tested for confirmation. 

The torch is then applied to the acupuncture points affecting that particular health concern.  Normally it only takes 4 to 6 treatments, given every other day, to produce significant improvement in all but the most serious problems.

Photonic Therapy was developed by Dr. Brian McLaren of Australia in the 1990's.  Dr. McLaren is a clinical scientist, a veterinary surgeon and the highest qualified acupuncturist in Australia, with postgraduate university qualifications both in veterinary and human acupuncture.
